Well, if its planned like that I can not understand for what I should use a smart thermostat. But yes, it seems like that, so I will have a look on aggressive mode.
Yep, as I said I also looking for a well working device. And also read much about the Bosch and it seems that many people have some problems with it, too.
Thank you, I didn’t know that I can use templates to create “sensors” but I’ve just learnt that and used in your Blueprint. Thanks!
Ill let you know if I find a device which is worth it. I
ve still some hope in Danfoss/Popp. Think it will be delivered next week. The older version of Bosch wasn`t that bad.
Yes, heard nothing bad about this devices. I am curious how them perform.
@panhans will you later implement calendar scheduling?
Or is it canceled because helpers voting wins?
Not in focus atm. But I think I will add this if the most problems/features are done.
Hello, your Blueprint is now running without any problems. Thank you very much! I am actually also interested in this function and would be happy to volunteer as a tester if you were to implement it at some point. Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!
Hey!
Just imported the V4 Ref version and set it up as second automation. Disabled V4 for the moment for testing as requested. Using maxcube / EQ3Max in one room and Tuyas in the other.
Setting up the Ref version and scanning through the settings,
Where did “Split Service Calls” go?
“Service Call Delay” is still there …
Service calls are splitted per default now. I dropped the option to bundle it in one call because many thermostats have problems with it. But the delay still exists after each call.
ah! Good to know. Will report back on how it works.
Some weeks ago i opened a thread, trying to find help with markdown / headlines / sections in the blueprint UI. Involvement wasn´t that great until today.
See here: Is there a way to add Headlines / Separators / Sections in Blueprint UI - #3 by hainfelder
Where would be a place to discuss better naming and descriptions, ordering? Here in this thread?
i try currently to run up with my air conditioner, and have one problem. (Tasmota irhvac)
- The climate starts up but don’t set the temperature
Trace:
Now i configured the new Ref version and let you know the result. I have one remark about your default values. I think it would be clearer if the default values are 0 or off.
what about “Manual mode”?
Could you follow these steps?
- disable your automation
- set climate to a different target then comfort or minimum temperature
- set mode to off
- enable the automation again
- trigger the automation
- watch you climate changing mode or temp
- download the latest trace and share (maybe you can see in the graph if climate.set_temperature / climate.set_hvac_mode got called. That would be the correct trace)
Thanks!
//EDIT: you also can experiment with service calls in developer tools to change the target temperature… maybe this device needs a special service call or maybe a combined?!
Still experimental since no home assistant developer is checking and merging the pull request for the fix…
//EDIT: I’ve updated the ref version with adjustable aggressive mode. Works good in my configuration.
Hello,
First of all, kudos to @panhans for the work! The blueprint does many of the things I wanted from a smarted heating solution.
I set up one room with 2x Danfoss Ally, 1x external Aqara thermometer (both ZigBee via ZigBee2MQTT) and Advanced heating control (V4_ref5) on schedule.
I observe the following two issues:
- The external temperature (external_measured_room_sensor) is set only for one of the two TRVs (for the second one in automation). The other keeps the default value and was never set by the automation.
- The external temperature is set a tad late. If radiator_covered is not set, it’s set after ~3:04 (while the system defaults after ~3:01). If radiator_covered is set, it adjusts after ~0:40 (with the system defaulting after ~0:35).
I can imagine both bit being quite simple errors, though the blueprint code is too complex for me :-/.
PS: If a trace would help, let me know. If debug mode would help, I’d need guidance, I tried to put the blueprints.panhans.heatingcontrol: debug
to the main config file but that did not work.
Could it be the one which is not set is calibrated right with its default value? But maybe you problems can be solved by decreasing the calibration delta (0 for calibrating for every change of TRV temp / external sensor temp) and calibration timeout. If you turn this also down calibration should react much quicker and responsable.
Did I understand right. You thermostats are resetting the calibration values after a certain duration? Is there maybe a periodical update needed to fix that problem?
Danfoss TRVs offer both options of working with the external thermometer: Either setting the external temperature directly to a dedicated attribute (external_measured_room_sensor
) or by setting an offset (in regulation_setpoint_offset
).
The offset is never set by the automation, so I expect you use the external temperature attribute (which I indeed see as a better option). However, to use that, the docs say you have to sat it at least once in 3 hours / 30 minutes (depending on the radiator_covered
state) otherwise the TRV defaults to the internal thermometer.
I presumed your automation is doing just that as the changes are periodic (and with correctly different period depending on radiator_covered
), just doing it a tad late.
Thus, I don’t think the calibration delta would change anything. I have the default value of the calibration timeout of 1 minute.
Update: I changed the order of the TRVs in the automation (Field “Thermostats / Valves”) and now the other TRV is set (still have to wait if the first will not be changed any longer).
